Maybe the initial hint of skynet or hopefully more likely impressive calculation to come

From https://pastebin.com/RfUMXJZE referenced in article:

Here, we report using a processor with programmable superconducting qubits to create quantum states on 53 qubits, occupying a state space 253 ˘1016. Measurements from repeated experiments sample the corresponding probability distribution, which we verify using classical simulations.

While our processor takes about 200 seconds to sample one instance of the quantum circuit 1 million times, a state-of-the-art supercomputer would require approximately 10,000 years to perform the equivalent task.

This dramatic speedup relative to all known classical algorithms provides an experimental realization of quantum supremacy on a com- putational task and heralds the advent of a much-anticipated computing paradigm.

What quantum tasks are relevant to AGI?

I'm not aware of any concrete evidence that the human brain uses quantum superpositions, so why would a quantum computer be necessary for artificial general intelligence.
